Still nothing, this is my eel, but when iiicroweiii had it, he gave me the same device he is using and have since got a new one.

And this guy shows you how to do it, which I have went over and over and still no luck.

I tried it again today and nothing. So I got some of his fish out and this time without wearing gloves, I fed him. He didnt seem hungry for a change. I ust had to do this to satisfy my hunch that he isnt producing a charge for watever reason. I even took a video of it as well. I wouldnt dare to this when I first got him.

I find it hard to believe that it suddenly just "looses" the ability to electrocute it's prey.....it's a electric eel for crying out loud LOL
 
I bet the eel learned there's no need for the current to eat dead fish. I'm willing to bet $100 if that eel was grabbed with bare handle there would be current LOL In fact I will pay the $100 either way just to watch.............
